This is a Brompton hub gear cable for:

• Sturmey Archer
• Sachs / SRAM

Long wheelbase Brompton version - i.e. those produced in 2004 and onwards (in case you wondered)

If you are not sure if your Brompton is long or short wheelbase - check out our long or short wheelbase Bromppton guide

On the 2017 model (introduced late 2016) Brompton introduced a new integrated brake lever and gear shifter - this is NOT the cable for those gear shifters.

The packet comprises:

• Cable inner - length 1463mm
• Cable outer - length 1302mm

The cable is marked on the outer: G3+M - denoting that it is a 3 speed gear cable (G3) for an older M type / mid rise (+M)

Tools required:

• 8mm spanner to remove the existing cable inner from the cable anchor and to re-attatch
• Cable cutter / pliers to remove the end cap from existing cable if one is installed

One end of the cable outer has a silver end and one has a black end

The silver end goes into the shifter / trigger

The black end goes into the cable pulley

Colour: Black
